• Windows live mail file location, backup,

  I need to reinstall windows 7 and I need be sure that I get my emails from windows live mail and saved contacts client.   I can't find the location of the file to copy to an external source.

  Where can I find the e-mail files and contacts?

  What is the best way to save and import when I set up the reinstallation?

  If you want to back up all aspects of Windows Live Mail, including settings of the account, rules, etc. use this third-party utility:

  It does not transfer the contacts, but you can easily re - sync those if you used the option to connect to Windows Live Mail.

• Please tell me how to backup Windows Live Mail on a Windows XP-based computer

  I don't want the program that does it for you, I mean go into the directory and the backup of the .eml.  What I call the way '' look under the hood. '' Thanks in advance.

  If you just want to save the .eml files manually, you might as well just save the messages as .eml files.
   
  Create a Windows folder on your desktop or elsewhere and then in WLMail, open the folder that contains the messages you want to save. Highlight a message, and then Ctrl + A will highlight all (or Ctrl-button down while you select only messages you want), now, drag and drop them into the folder on your desktop. (They there will be records WLMail.)
   
  Now you can copy this folder to a CD or flash, and they can be moved if necessary WLMail.

• backup for Windows Live Mail folder

  I deleted an account that he was driving and I wanted to recreate from scratch so the register had created re.

  I did it in Outlook Express with the deleted mail.

  Unfortunately, in Windows Live Mail it deleted all the mail.

  There is a folder named backup under

  I did it in Outlook Express with the deleted mail.
  Unfortunately, in Windows Live Mail it deleted all the mail.

  That's why WLMail requires you to reject a warning message before deleting an account:

  

  There is a folder named backup under
  C:\Documents and Settings\

  What is in the present, and I can use it to restore the emails that I deleted when I deleted an account.

  The backup folder contains a copy of the message database, which is only an indication of your messages. It does not contain the messages themselves.

  You may be able to recover a portion of your messages (.eml files) by using a utility like Recuvaundelete. The sooner you act, the most successful, it is likely to be.

  Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate.

• How to make a backup of Windows Live mail

  I need to reformat my pc to Win 7 64 bit. I need to backup my emails in Windows Live Mail. I can't use the automatic backup program because I have too many emails and I never got to work. (Quick save)?  I need the location of the directory of email and instructions on how to transfer them to an external support. Then, I need instructions on how to re-import them in own WLM program after reformatting. Thanks in advance.

  Go to the folder where all "libraries" are and make sure you are showing all records - there should be the my documents, Favorites, etc., but it must be marked "appdata".  From there, go to "local", "Microsoft", "Windows Live Mail" and there are all the accounts and records of storage of Windows live mail - you can drag and drop them to a flash drive, DVD, CD, or other external media you have.

  No 'extra' required backup program!  It's almost the same as the old path of Outlook Express, you have just to make sure that the "AppData" folder is visible, but it should be easy to display.

• Windows Live Mail lost from the storage boxes

  I have also returned to Windows 7 from Windows 10 and have lost 2 subfolders of storage that contains about 1000 emails.

  My Telco provider said it is not their problem, because I can still send and receive mails to my optus email address.

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  Your email provider is correct.  Not their fault.

  Many of my clients use WLM.  I've seen this before.  Quite frankly, in all cases I've seen, is the user who did this to themselves by accidental deletion, or involuntary movement of a folder inside or another folder.  In the latter case, the file I not lost, just misplaced.

  Watch very carefully each of your folders displayed on the initial screen of WLM.  Some of them have very light yellow color on the left arrows.  These arrows mean that there is a folder inside this folder.  They can even be nested many layers deep.  Investigate all these cases and see if you can find them.

  If you do regular backups, this could be retrieveable.  Here's how:

  How to back up the usual way WLM:

  Mailing address:

  1. Click on this same arrow at the top left, choose Export mail, emails, Windows Live Mail
  2. It will ask you where to write the file and you can direct to your external storage device

  Contacts:

  1. Go to the section Contact in WLM (the third icon in the lower left)
  2. Choose export values separated by commas
  3. Navigate to the location where you want the backup to be stored on your external hard drive and the name of the file, click on save, then place a check in each box, click OK

  Restoring this backup is another story.  I'm not going in there now, but if you need further assistance on that come here.

  Here's another tip WLM.

  WLM contains all your data in a folder that is located about 7 levels deep.  It is hidden.  There is no good reason, I don't know to bury him there.  I move just at the level of C: in a folder named (email yourname).  Then when I do backups, I copy this folder to my back upwards as well as the usual WLM backup procedure.

  The beauty of this record is that if you ever have to move to another computer, you can move this folder to the new computer and have everything just as it was in the old.  This includes even calendars providing no se backup feature.

  To move:

  Click on this small blue rectangle with the arrow inside, then choose Options, mail

  Click the Advanced tab, then interview, and then store the file

  Click on edit and then move into the new folder that you just created to C: or whenever you choose.

  And then click OK.

  Nothing will change until you stop WLM and then restart.  At that time there WLM to happen to the new location.  Nothing will be lost or changed

• Windows Live Mail 2012 is not saving sent Messages - 8 victory

  Recently my laptop was stolen and had to get a new.

  Fortunately, I had everything backed up with mypcbackup.com, so not too lost.  However, I have major issues with Win Live Mail.

  1. saved messages are not saving to sent mail.  The boxes are checked.  I checked that "show all messages" is the parameter.  I tried to change the folder to mail to a new charge storage and empty one.  Nothing works.  Someone said that the parameters of time and the region can effect.  Mine are set for time and my correct location even though when I bought the laptop, it has been the standard we TZ rather than my local Malaysia.  This cause a problem?

  It is to save the gmail and hotmail sends properly.  Just having problems with my computer and business correspondence which are not mainstream, but have been well until the new laptop to work and win 8.

  2 I had restored my backup of emails in mail storage folder, but none of them are picked up by Win Live Mail.  This is very important because it's the last 4 years of work e-mails.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help solve these issues.

  Hi Mattkerr,

  I suggest you to uncheck the option to save the messages in the sent items folder. Restart Windows Live Mail, and then check the new option, clickapply , and then click OK.

  Also try to rebuild the Windows Live Mail folder and check if this solves the problem.

  Step 1: Rename the Windows Mail folder and create a new folder

  a. exit Windows Live Mail.

  b. find the folder of Windows Live Mail .

  It is usually located in:

  C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\

  c. right click on the Windows Live Mail folder and then click Rename.

  d. Add old at the end of the name of the folder so that the folder is now named Windows Live Mail.old.

  Step 2: Create a new Windows Live Mail folder and copy the contents of the previous folder.

  a. start Windows Live Mail so that it can automatically create the new Windows Live Mail folder, and then quit Windows Live Mail.

  b. find the new Windows Live Mail folder to confirm that his creation.

  It is usually located in:

  C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\

  Note If the new Windows Live Mail folder is compressed, you must unzip this file. To decompress, right click on the Windows Live Mail folder, and then select extract.

  c. open the Windows Mailold live folder.

  d. open the Local folder and copy theaccount {xxxxxxxxxxxxx} .oeaccount . Notice thatxxxxxxxxxxxxx represents numbers or letters.

  e. Paste the file in the Local folder in the new Windows Mail folder (that was created in step 1 of this procedure).

  f. If the following folders are present in the Windows Live Mail.old folder, copy each folder and paste it into the new Windows Mail folder.

  o stationery

  Microsoft o community

  g. close all folders.

  Step 3: Import messages in Windows Mail

  a. start Windows Mail.

  b. import the messages into the previous Windows Mail folder to the new folder. To import the messages, follow these steps.

  i. click file, point to importand then click Message.

  II. click Windows Live Mail in Select a programand then click Next.

  III. click Browse, select the Windows Live Mail.oldlocation and then click Next.

  IV. click all folders inSelect the folderand then click Next.

  v. click Complete, and then the messages will be imported in file imported.

  c. place the messages that have been imported into any folder to the folder appropriate under the Local folder. For example, move messages in the Inbox under the imported folder folder to the folder Inbox under Local folder.

  d. check if blocked messages are deleted. If this is not the case, try to send or delete messages.

  If the problem still persists, then I suggest you to post the same question in the Windows Live Mail forum for more help on this issue.

  I hope you look at the responses from the support staff to "cannot display" question to WLSC.  It's going to be a long term job, I think. The iPad experience was conducted using the same Internet connection or another?

  I'm sorry, it will take an expert in demystifying the WLMail journal to address the problem of calendar. It is quite common, although I suspect that the message "corrupt data" covers a multitude of different errors. They should have enough cases to be able to say what the problem is, but they are so starved of resources that I doubt that anyone has attended the.
